Influenza viruses are respiratory pathogens that are major threats to human health. Due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, the use of traditional anti-influenza drugs has been hindered. Therefore, the development of new antiviral drugs is critical. In this article, AgBiS nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature, using the bimetallic properties of the material itself to explore its inhibitory effect on the influenza virus. By comparing the synthesized BiS and AgS nanoparticles, it is found that after adding the silver element, the synthesized AgBiS nanoparticles have a significantly better inhibitory effect on influenza virus infection than BiS and AgS nanoparticles. Recent studies have shown that the inhibitory effect of AgBiS nanoparticles on the influenza virus mainly occurs in the stages of influenza virus-cell internalization and intracellular replication. In addition, it is found that AgBiS nanoparticles also have prominent antiviral properties against α and β coronaviruses, indicating that AgBiS nanoparticles have significant potential in inhibiting viral activity.

Radiotherapy (RT), a widely used clinical treatment modality for cancer, uses high-energy irradiation for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage. However, its therapeutic effect is primarily limited owing to insufficient DNA damage to tumors and harmful effects on normal tissues. Herein, a core-shell structure of metal-semiconductors (Au@AgBiS nanoparticles) that can function as pyroptosis inducers to both kill cancer cells directly and trigger a robust anti-tumor immune against 4T1 triple-negative murine breast cancer and metastasis is rationally designed.
